Thought I would start a new post since there seems to be so much information floating around about these two ships. I have spoken with Fort Lauderdale this morning and the official word is that Radisson will be able to book the Paul Gauguin for French Polynesia in 2006. Again, I preface that with the new owners can change that contract with Radisson at their discretion. As far as the Diamond, yes a bid has been put in but in no way has been finalized. Radisson has a number of options they are exploring and that is why they have not put out a press release. Management is considering their options and once they have more definite plans will release them. The options they are exploring will protect the cruises already booked. There are no changes to the current 2005 Diamond schedule at this point. Stay tuned for more information.
